Murray Hay solicitors just completed a remortgage on my behalf. As a portfolio landlord I have used many different solicitors over the years and I must say Murray Hay will now be my go to solicitor for all of my future conveyancing. From start to finish they were fast, professional and efficient.
Landlord & Tenant
FOSTERING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS
Whether letting or renting, Murray Hay Solicitors offers structured landlord and tenant legal services in Central London, helping maintain agreements and resolve issues.
Landlord & Tenant Law
We offer comprehensive advice on landlord and tenant matters, including tenancy agreements, rent reviews, licences for alterations, and business tenancy renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. We protect your interests, ensuring compliance with relevant laws and smooth tenancy relationships.
Dispute Resolution
We assist in resolving disputes between landlords, tenants, and managing agents concerning service charges, repairs, lease terms, and other property matters. Our aim is to achieve fair solutions through negotiation or formal legal action if required.
Lease Extensions
We support leaseholders in extending their leases, negotiating with landlords, and handling all legal formalities. Extending your lease can safeguard your property’s value and give you peace of mind. Our team ensures the process is clear, fair, and completed within legal guidelines.
Leasehold Enfranchisement
We assist landlords and leaseholders with leasehold enfranchisement, guiding you through lease extensions, collective freehold purchases, rights to manage, and rights of first refusal. Our expertise ensures compliance with the Leasehold Reform Acts, helping you protect or enhance your property interests effectively and efficiently.
Purchase of Freehold
We guide groups of leaseholders through the purchase of the freehold, helping you gain full control of your property. This service covers legal advice, coordinating collective action, and managing negotiations to secure ownership and improve your property rights.
Right To Manage
We assist leaseholders seeking to exercise their right to manage their building without owning the freehold. Our service includes advice, preparation of notices, and support throughout the legal process, enabling you to take control of property management responsibilities confidently.
Property Licensing
We advise landlords on property licensing requirements, including mandatory and selective licensing schemes. Our guidance ensures you meet local authority obligations, avoid penalties, and maintain lawful rental operations.
Tenancy Agreements
Our team drafts and advises on various tenancy agreements, including assured shorthold tenancies and short-term lets. We ensure the terms are fair and clear, protecting landlords’ rights and setting expectations for tenants to avoid future disputes.
Rent Arrears Recovery
We help landlords recover unpaid rent through formal demands, negotiations, and, if necessary, legal proceedings. Our approach aims to resolve arrears efficiently while maintaining landlord-tenant relationships where possible.
Property Repossession
When repossession becomes necessary, we guide landlords through the legal process to regain possession lawfully. We handle court applications and enforcement, ensuring compliance with regulations to protect your property interests.
